ChargeBox Events Case Study – Wimbledon

Wimbledon
A ChargeBox Events Case Study

Serving up a charging solution at the Wimbledon Championships

Since 2014, ChargeBox has provided charging services at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

The event - the only Grand Slam tennis event still held on grass - is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious sporting events of the year.

The Challenge:

The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, often shortened to the All England Club, wanted to enhance the experience on offer at the tournament for both visitors and players, as well as their teams.

With more visitors and even players relying on mobile devices to keep them updated and able to engage with the event, a safe and secure charging solution was needed to keep batteries fully charged.

The Solution:

ChargeBox provides the All England Club with a permanent station, located within the Wingfield Cafe, as well as several additional stations during the tournament. 

During the tournament and qualifying events, these units are placed within hospitality areas of the venue.

The units are primarily used by 'Debenture' ticket holders who have entry to every day of the tournament and exclusive access to Debenture areas, bars and restaurants.

Players and their teams are also able to use these stations to charge their devices.

 Business Benefits:

The ChargeBox units have improved and enhanced the customer experience at the tournament and increased engagement through mobile apps and social media.

The All England Club is able to continue promoting their brand through the full vinyl wrap applied to the units and on-screen video content which can be remotely managed.

The All England Club said: “At Wimbledon, we’ve always been passionate about providing a great experience for our visitors, and offering charging solutions not only enhances the customer experience but enables users to stay engaged for longer. Over the past five years of working together, the ChargeBox team have continued to guarantee excellent service and always make sure they deliver to the highest of standards.”

We had the pleasure of working with ChargeBox at The ICC Champions Trophy 2017 and were particularly pleased with the personal service that they provided. Not only could we add our branding to the stations via the wrap and top screen but the units were 100% reliable. Once the tournament was over, we received self-explanatory and useful usage reports. Overall, ChargeBox provided an end to end service.
